Thanatosian posted:Pissing me off: ServiceNow implementation at a multi-billion dollar software vendor. User is doing something I didn't know was possible: adding notes to cases by replying to the emails instead of logging into the site. The user has an enormous signature with multiple disclosures/confidentiality notices/etc. The user is not trimming any of the replies. Reading the ticket is a loving nightmare. Why would anyone allow that? ServiceNow is already a terrible nightmare, it's like a human version of a schemaless mongodb where everything is stored as a string. That being said this seems more like a user education problem.

Thanatosian posted:What we really need is email 2.0 with defined, standardized signature and quote blocks. Over time, the chance increases to 100% that marketers and spammers and "important VPs" will be upset that their legal disclaimer and linkedin URLs are relegated to automatically hidden signature blocks, and buy some shady malicious addon sold via Clickbank affiliate links via Quora spam that automatically inject the signature into the primary body area. To prevent "duplicate text signature autodetection" all spaces are replaced with <b color="#FFF" style="background: #FFF">[random character]</b>. There is a similar case of the Bitcoin forums where they used to allow images, but then those were used for IP logging and DDoS attacks, so now everyone's signature is this 5 line abomination of ascii art/ansi art/japanese fullwidth character blocks forming low resolution icons.

My usual guess is that non split tunnel VPN is trying to take over default route/gw routing v6 over some broken linklocal or autogenerated v6 addr while simultaneously not having v6 connectivity, and since virtually every major site does v6 now (google, facebook, youtube, etc) and returns an AAAA record I wouldn't be surprised if suddenly half the internet is blackholed for end users. Also up for dumb corporate things is blocking UDP traffic, which is... what the web uses. Facebook says more than 75% of their web traffic is now UDP, for one data point.

Bob Morales posted:And an honest question to any of you, do you have to wear a mask the entire time at your job? Because if you don’t, it’s easy to sit on a high horse and tell people what to do. before WFH? yes, for a month, daily, including on a ~3hr commute. I also wore a mask for the last two weeks at home along with my roommate due to an unavoidable trip. I recommend putting a few strips of paper towels inside to collect moisture. I've found that a proper disposable surgical mask (like the blue/white ones) are a lot more comfortable than a cloth one, especially when bent out properly so it never makes contact with your face in the front.

I don't have the time to take PTO and I can't cash it out to $ at hourly rate. I'm almost certainly working all holidays. To be honest, I like my team, and I took that oncall first-page because they have things like kids to take care of, I just have League of Legends to take care of. I entirely plan on going snowboarding with expensed hotspots from different carriers on Christmas. If the lifts are too crowded, I'll probably just snowshoe instead. Just like the time I went to a multi-day music festival with a laptop and five hotspots while on-call. Why is it so noisy at 3 AM when I got paged? It's a screaming shirtless dude on acid eating cheese fries while someone is blasting Tiesto two tents down on a speaker system connected to a generator.

I pretty much turn my phone off and go for a walk every single lunchtime. During standard hours someone else will deal with it, not my problem. Trails, parks, etc are absolutely packed with unmasked idiots, people running and heavy panting without a mask, etc. Not much else to do.

Sheep posted:AnyConnect just angers me all the time. Terrible logging, terrible interface, terrible options, terrible documentation. On Linux it doesn't even support PKCS11 devices (but it does on Windows & MacOS, because that makes sense). Really just nothing good to say about it other than 'sometimes it works as expected' which is about the bare minimum you can say about a given product and nothing at all to be proud of. At least AnyConnect works on Linux, that's more than I can say for Palo Alto's

kensei posted:Comcast Gig Internet is legit. Relatedly, if you rent their modem, you can upgrade to the unlimited data cap for only $11 a month. No brainer with WFH and streaming TV. From a rms POV it's absolute bullshit that they have an arbitrary, pointless cap if (and they keep repeating this) almost nobody approaches the cap. And to upgrade for a vaguely-reasonable price requires that you rent hardware that is entirely out of your control, remotely managed, password visible to anyone that logs into your Comcast account. This is poo poo that pisses me off. You're already overpaying to a monopolistic, hostile actor that continually increases prices and demands long term contracts with ETFs. Your money and non-tax fees are going toward lobbying to make municipal networks and fiber illegal. The highest plan has less than 10 Mbps upload in 2020. Edit: I tried browsing plans. They also don't note the upload anywhere. I've clicked through into plan details, everywhere. They use phrasing like "Gigabit Internet service transmits data up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) — or 1,000 megabits per second" everywhere in their marketing, and continually mention download only. There is not a single mention of upstream on the offer page, the plan page, clicking "Offer Details", "View Details", "Pricing & Other Info" Impotence fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Nov 24, 2020 |
